Item Classification Guide for Gourmet Food

How to Use this Document

This document is known as the Item Classification Guide. It contains a list of the valid terms you can use in your text file product template to populate the Item Type, Used For, Target Audience, and Other Item Attributes fields. When adding terms to these specific fields, you are giving Amazon.com information that can be used to properly classify your products for inclusion in Search and Browse. When terms are correctly applied to these fields, you are telling Amazon.com useful information about your product:

Failure to use these terms will likely prevent your products from appearing on Amazon.com.
At the very least, your products will be difficult to find.

What does Amazon.com do with these terms? We use them to create search results. We also use them to assign products to predefined browse nodes. Unless your product data includes the terms assigned to a particular browse node, your products will not be included in the site's browse structure. You can refer to the Seller Central help documentation or your Account Manager for a list of the browse nodes for your category and their associated criteria.

In order to improve your product placement on Amazon.com, observe the following pointers:
